Score reporting
and test design data
Raw scores are converted to stanines. Norms and reliability measures were established on each subtest separately and are summarized in the book.
Notes This book is broken into two parts — the first part instructs teachers on how to observe and make sense of the reading behavior of children as they read aloud. The second part is a collection of assessment tools that measure more specific skills in the emergent reader (It should be noted that the books that accompany the concepts about print test, "Stones" and "Sand," must be purchased separately). All together, it provides the administrator with the power to customize assessment to the individual. With multiple tests, developmental progress can be monitored. This book, further, offers suggestions to various reading problems.
